FY2023 Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Task Forces (MJDTF)

The Montana Board of Crime Control (MBCC) is soliciting proposals for Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) – Multi-Jurisdictional Drug Task Force (MJDTF) programs to be funded by the U.S Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance. The application process is competitive. Previous funding does not guarantee an award during this funding cycle. Approximately $800,000 will be available during the project period, depending upon availability of federal funds. Because federal funds are not always available immediately following the award date, applicants should prepare for this contingency. A 30% hard cash local match of the total cost of each MJDTF project (JAG grant funds plus local match) is required for each JAG-funded project. Applicants may not declare a match of more than 30%. Match must be derived from non-federal sources. All funds designated as match are restricted to the same uses as the federal funds and must be expended within the grant period.

Applicants having questions or requiring clarification or interpretation of any section within this opportunity must address these issues via the email address listed above by the date listed above. Clear reference to the application section and item in question must be included in the request. Questions received after the close date will not be considered. Program-specific questions cannot be addressed during the solicitation period. Written responses to all questions received by the deadline will be posted in the Opportunity Details section of this application within seven calendar days. Applicants should consult the Question Submission responses prior to posting a question to avoid duplication and prior to submitting an application to avoid missing potentially assistive material. Any other form of interpretation of this application will not be binding upon MBCC.

Eligible applicants are limited to state, local and tribal government agencies that can qualify as a multi-jurisdictional drug task force (MJDTF), defined below: • MJDTF must be comprised of law enforcement representatives from five or more counties. A reservation will count as a county. A county or reservation may belong to more than one MJDTF. Any applicant that is unable to qualify as a MJDTF based upon the description above is not eligible to apply under this funding opportunity.
